The Karhu Ruckit/Line Maverick. It will carve the boilerplate, rip the trees, and even float you up in moderate pow. Check out the reviews at www.telemarktips.com (search the forum for 'ruckit').

Does it have to be a twin? 1080, K2 Enemy, Rossi Scratch......anything that hovers around 70-75 at the waist should be pretty good and cover a broad base of condition possibilities.

Maverick

that ski is so underated, and it is fucking amazing...same tail height as 1080, near same turn radius, and it is sick

the 1080 would be another good one

and if you aren't super park, get the Darksides

I also ski at Sunday River, and i used Concepts this year, and they were sick. Good in the moguls, good in the park, and their descent in powder

i dont think they will be fat enough to float you in the deep powder they get up there.

everyone has a different opinion about these things. Really the ski dosent matter its how u use it. I saw a guy tear it up in Park City with Elans from ages ago. Buy a ski with the feel u like and tear it up. Peace

Freestyla:
You are right that a good skier could ski just about any terrain with any ski. However, that does not overwrite the fact that skis have different characterstics which are based on its design. A narrow-waisted ski will be quicker edge to edge than a fatter one. A ski with more side-cut carves with more stablity. A longer ski will be more stable at speed and through crud than a shorter one, regardless of surface area.
